Nothing to complain about. The restrooms are clean, the atmosphere excellent and the bike trails good. Need more sites with hookups.

Surprisingly nice campground given that it is so close to Asheville. Not as close to Asheville as the website claims, though. It's 20 min to downtown, not 10 min. Free firewood!

We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 stays at Lake Powhatan. The campsite was very well maintained and arranged. On our second stay there was perhaps 3 inches of snow on the ground but the road to the campsites and the paved campsite surfaces were completely cleared of snow. The weather limited our ability to explore the part but we would happily come back in warmer weather to do more. The park is also conveniently close to Asheville so it makes a great jumping off point for explorations in town.

The person in charge of the campground was very very nice and very very helpful. He should be recognized
stayed on 12/27/2021 to 12/29/2021 site was clean

This is a beautiful wooded campground. I stayed in the Lakeside Loop where all of the sites I saw had trees on each side for a sense of privacy. The bathhouse was very clean. All of the staff I encountered were very friendly and helpful. I would love to stay there again.

Beautiful, well maintained campground, with all the sites nestled in the trees. Great hiking and biking trails from your campsite including to the Blue Ridge Parkway, to the NC Arboretum, almost all along or crossing streams. Short drive to downtown Asheville, to gorgeous views from the Blue Ridge Parkway, to waterfalls, biking trails and more.

Very secluded and quiet sites, yet quick access to all the surrounding area offers!

Posting a map of hiking areas would have been helpful
